There are sites that REQUIRE IE, so I dont see how a library could not have it available if they are using Windows. My local library has IE and Firefox available on all of the computers.
I have used the BSA website and I havent seen any reason why it would cause you to have to reinstall windows on a computer.
What problems were you seeing that led you to believe that the BSA website caused you to need to reinstall Windows?
A lot has changed in the last two years since this post went dormant. I no longer need to use the library (which could not and still does not support IE, even if asked).
And the viruses on the BSA website have been cleared up, so that I no longer have to reinstall Windows to clean up those problems from years ago. In addition, the BSA website now supports more than just IE.
Yes, there are some sites that think they are important enough that they require IE. I do not visit those sites. When they join the real world and become compliant with generally accepted browser standards, I will participate if they have information I need.
But I have yet to find a site the required IE, that also required me to actually visit the site. Although one outfit did get tired of my letters to them on the subject. [grin]
Nice flashback to a couple of years ago, but all of these issues were resolved way back then. I guess I forgot to return and report. Sorry.
